An important early collection of Toshio Saeki’s drawings and paintings, The Earliest Works gathers material from the formative years of the artist’s practice. Saeki’s unsettling combinations of eroticism, violence, humour and the grotesque draw on traditional Japanese imagery while incorporating the visual language of manga, advertising and underground culture.

Published by Seirinkogeisha, the volume provides an intimate view of Saeki’s early development and his distinctive fusion of erotic fantasy and horror. An increasingly sought-after title within Saeki’s bibliography and a particularly desirable early monograph.
